Bright sun

I played pickle ball at 8:00 this morning before it really became hot.  We are in the 90 degree range for the next few days...was it just a couple of weeks ago it was such a cold rain?  

My neighbor J (who has the drone) really likes planes and wanted to know about photographing them from our back decks.  What lens to use, etc.  I used my 100-500, but they were still really far away and need a big crop.  He will let me know what model his Nikon is and maybe we can come up with an idea.  

These lanterns are on my other neighbors deck to discourage the swallows.
